“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” ~ World Health Organisation

I don’t believe in ‘fad’ or crash diets. These provide short term solutions with unsustainable results. They are a plan A with no plan B, a “one side fits all” or “cookie cutter” approach to nutrition. I work with individuals of all capabilities who are searching for personal and supportive 1 to 1 nutrition coaching. The existing nutrition and fitness industry is poorly regulated. There is an abundance of conflicting evidence readily available it’s easy to get lost confused. Using an evidence based approach to education I eliminate dietary myths. I empower my clients on a personal level to help them achieve their fat loss, body recomposition and fitness goals for life!

Still not losing weight? This is for you.

If you’ve tried “everything” and you’re tired of starting over, read this:

Weight loss isn’t your problem.
Willpower isn’t your problem.
You’re not broken.
What’s missing is the right support and systems.

The Nourish Academy is a 12-week, doctor-led, small-group coaching experience designed to help you:

✔ lose weight sustainably
✔ stop emotional eating
✔ manage stress and energy
✔ build habits that last beyond motivation

This is deep, personalised work — with weekly coaching, education, and real accountability inside a supportive community (off social media).

Every applicant receives a complimentary consultation with me to make certain this is a good fit before enrolling.

If something in you has been quietly saying “this feels different” — trust that.

This is your call. This is your time. 2026 is YOUR YEAR.

✨ Applications close tonight at midnight

Why your systems matter more than willpower.

Sounds crazy, but, I decided to return to work before my little boy starts nursery 😳

On paper, it made sense.

I wanted to wait until he was one, and working for myself, I had no idea how many hours I’d actually need.

What I didn’t fully account for?

Postpartum isn’t just emotional. It's biological.

Oestrogen and progesterone fall off a cliff.

Sleep becomes optional.

Your brain is on high alert, busy keeping a tiny human alive.

Right now, work happens in nap windows - thankfully he’s a great napper these days!!!

After a social media detox when Jude was born, I’m gently re-entering public life but it’s A LOT.

Live TV interviews on CNN, conversations with editors at Vogue.

Sounds glam and it is, but there’s a cost that comes with it…

Feeling…Ambitious and tender. Capable yet slightly undone.

Then I decided to relaunch our signature programme, The Nourish Academy (now in its 8th round).

“How hard can it be?” 😅 Cue overthinking, imposter syndrome, anxiety… hello postpartum rollercoaster.

But this season has reaffirmed something I deeply believe:

✨ You don’t wait for life to calm down before caring for your wellbeing.
✨You build systems that support you inside the chaos.

That’s exactly why I created The Nourish Academy.

It’s a 12-week, doctor-led small group programme for women who want to:

Lose weight sustainably
Break free from emotional eating
Build a calmer, more trusting relationship with food
— without restriction, burnout, or all-or-nothing thinking.

Together with Raeleen, our therapist and mindset coach, we focus on nourishment, stress resilience, energy, confidence, and habits that actually work in real life (including the messy bits).

Be quick! The doors close this Sunday 8th Feb. We begin 16th Feb.

You deserve to feel your best! Let 2026 be your year.

There’s a growing, unspoken pressure among women right now — to take weight loss injections, to explain why they’re not, or to justify why they are.

And for many, this isn’t about vanity. It’s about exhaustion. Years of trying. Seeing nothing work. Wanting relief.

Some feel like they’re falling behind because “everyone else seems to be on them already.”

Some feel guilt or shame even considering medication — as if needing help is a personal failure.

Others are already using them but feel unable to talk openly, worried they’ll be judged or dismissed.

This isn’t happening because women are uninformed. It’s happening because the conversation has become oversimplified and emotionally charged.

Weight loss injections are often presented as either:

✨ a miracle cure
🚫 something to be ashamed of

As a doctor, I can tell you the reality is far more complex.
For some women — particularly those navigating hormonal change, insulin resistance, PCOS, diabetes, menopause, or lifelong struggles with weight — these medications can be genuinely life-changing. Not because they “remove willpower,” but because they address biology that diet and exercise alone sometimes cannot.

For others, they’re unnecessary, inappropriate, or come with risks that deserve serious consideration.

One of the most important effects I see clinically is the reduction in food noise: the relentless mental load of thinking about food, hunger, restraint, guilt, and control. For many women, this alone is transformative.

But here is the medical truth that often gets lost:

These medications are tools. Powerful ones — but not replacements.

They do not replace:

• habit change
• stress and nervous system regulation
• muscle preservation (especially in midlife)
• adequate nutrition
• psychological support
• a healthy, sustainable relationship with food

And without these foundations, long-term success becomes far harder — particularly when medication is reduced or stopped.
That’s exactly why I’m delighted to open enrolment for the 8th round of The Nourish Academy.

This signature small-group coaching program supports sustainable weight loss by changing the psychology around food, while grounding everything in the science of hormones, habits, and nutrition.

It’s a 12-week small-group experience to support 10 women to:

• End restrictive dieting for good
• Heal their relationship with food
• Enjoy chocolate and social events while still losing weight
• Manage stress
• Reclaim self-confidence
• Increase energy
• Lose weight sustainably

This intimate small-group coaching experience gives you the tools to lose weight naturally — and for those using GLP-1s, it helps build the mindset and self-trust needed to confidently manage weight long after coming off medication.

Be quick - spots are filling fast!

Applications close Sunday 8th Feb and the academy starts 16th Feb.

If you’ve been sitting on this… this is your sign 👀
The £600 early-bird discount for The Nourish Academy TOMORROW — and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
I want to share what women say after they stop overthinking and decide to join:
💬 “I finally trust myself around food again.” — Sarah
💬 “This is the first time weight loss hasn’t taken over my life.” — Carol
💬 “Nourish helped me feel calmer, more energised, and confident again.” — Bev
That’s not luck.
That’s what happens when weight loss stops being about restriction, willpower, and starting again — and starts being about support, mindset, habits, and real life.
I’ve been doing this work for 13 years, and The Nourish Academy — now entering its 8th round — exists because I saw too many women doing everything right and still feeling exhausted, stuck, and frustrated.
Nourish is different because it treats the whole person, not just the number on the scales.
Inside The Nourish Academy, you’re supported every step of the way by:
👩‍⚕️ Me, Dr Aileen — GP & Lifestyle Medicine Physician
🧠 Raeleen — Therapist & Mindset Expert
Together, we support both the physical and psychological sides of sustainable weight loss — because real change doesn’t come from willpower alone.
Inside Nourish, you receive:
✨ A flexible, personalised nutrition framework (yes, carbs & chocolate included)
✨ Weekly live expert-led group coaching on Zoom
✨ Individual guidance within a small, supportive group
✨ Ongoing support inside our private community
✨ Education covering food, mindset, stress, sleep, habits & long-term maintenance
✨ Support whether you’re using GLP-1 medication — or planning life after it
The Academy is intentionally small (maximum 10 women), so you’re truly supported, seen, and guided — not lost in a crowd.
This isn’t about losing as much weight as possible as fast as possible.
It’s about finally creating a way of eating and living that feels calm, confident, and sustainable — and watching weight loss happen as a by-product of better health.
If part of you has been waiting for a sign…
✨ this is it ✨
👉 £600 early-bird enrolment ends TOMORROW

I’d love to support you inside Nourish 💛

What is The Nourish Academy — and how does it work?

The Nourish Academy isn’t just about weight loss.

It’s a holistic, evidence-based approach to increasing energy, managing stress, rebuilding self-confidence, and optimising long-term health.

The Nourish Academy is now entering its 8th round, refined through years 13 of clinical experience, behavioural science, and real life results.

Rather than relying on restrictive dieting or calorie counting alone, Raeleen, our therapist and mindset expert and I combine a whole-person approach to health with behavioural science tools to help women:

• Create habits that last
• Strengthen and master their mindset
• Break free from diet mentality and restrictive eating

The result is a healthier relationship with food, reduced comfort eating, and an end to the cycle of yo-yo dieting.
The Nourish Academy is intentionally small, with a maximum of 10 women, allowing for meaningful support and personalised guidance.

Participants receive live, expert-led group consultations that include individualised coaching within a supportive group environment.

If you’re ready to create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, increase energy, build self-confidence, and lose weight sustainably — without restrictive dieting — here’s how the programme works.

How The Nourish Academy works

1. Nutrition
We calculate your individual calorie requirements and teach you how to eat in a way that supports weight loss without restriction.
You’ll receive practical guidance for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks — including how to enjoy foods like chocolate while still achieving your goals. You’ll also gain access to the Nourish Recipe eBook, featuring quick, nutritious, and family-friendly meals.

2. Expert-led group consultations
Weekly live consultations are held on Zoom and are led by myself, GP and Lifestyle Physician and Raeleen, a Therapist and Mindset Expert.
These sessions combine medical, nutritional, and psychological expertise to support sustainable behaviour change.
Participants are invited to bring real-life questions and challenges, and we work through topics such as socialising, peer pressure, self-sabotage, emotional eating, stress management, and sleep optimisation.
All sessions are recorded and available for catch-up if you’re unable to attend live.

3. Community and peer support
Participants are supported inside a private community hosted on the Skool app, where they can ask questions of both myself and Raeleen Monday to Friday, alongside encouragement and accountability from women on the same journey.

4. Education
The programme includes 12 structured modules and 38 educational resources, delivered through video and downloadable PDFs.

Topics cover craving management, mindful eating, socialising and eating out with ease, healing your relationship with food, sleep optimisation, stress management, and more.

Ready to take the next step?

This intimate small-group coaching experience provides the tools to lose weight naturally — and for those using GLP-1 medications, it also supports the development of mindset and self-trust needed to confidently manage weight loss after medication is discontinued.

I’m officially back from maternity leave and incredibly excited to welcome 10 women into the 8th round of The Nourish Academy.

This signature small-group coaching program supports sustainable weight loss by changing the psychology around food while grounding everything in the science of hormones, habits, and nutrition.

It’s a 12-week small group experience to help 10 women:

• End restrictive dieting for good
• Heal their relationship with food
• Learn how to enjoy chocolate and social events while still losing weight
• Manage stress
• Reclaim self confidence
• Increase their energy
• Lose weight sustainably

Let me be clear.

This isn’t about losing as much weight as you can in 12 weeks.

Nourish is a mindset reframe and psychological shift to help you improve your wellbeing and create a healthier lifestyle that lasts in the long term.

Because, when you take care of your health, weight comes off as a byproduct!

Imagine NEVER dieting again.

Instead you can expect to…

🌟 Learn about mindful and intuitive eating, instead of restrictive dieting and counting calories.

🌟 Still enjoy carbs, chocolate and wine, instead of these foods being labelled as “off limits” which often leads to cravings, snacking or bingeing.

🌟 Improve your overall wellbeing and build sustainable healthy habits, instead of relying on sheer grit, determination or willpower that rarely lasts beyond 2-3 weeks.

Think of it as a NOURISHING way to lose weight, where we address your whole self, taking care of your mindset, emotional wellbeing and physical health instead of cutting out your favourite foods, forcing yourself to stick to a calorie target or forcing yourself to exercise.

Are you ready to:

• Create healthy enjoyable habits?
• Reduce stress?
• Balance your energy?
• Reclaim your self confidence?
• Still enjoy chocolate?
• & lose weight sustainably and feel comfortable in your own skin?

This intimate small-group coaching experience gives you the tools to lose weight naturally — and for those using GLP-1s, it helps build the mindset and self-trust needed to confidently manage weight long after coming off medication.

Enrol by Sunday 1st Feb to secure a £600 early-bird discount and get instant access to The Nourish Academy curriculum, so you can start right away.

Tried every diet under the sun and STILL FEEL STUCK? Here’s why…

The problem isn’t you, it’s the diet. Trust me. I’ve been there.

Back in 2012 I obsessively tracked my macros on My Fitness Pal and killed myself in the gym in the pursuit of my dream body.

Combined with the exhausting shifts and stress within the NHS it led to binge eating and burnout.

That’s why I created Nourish, to help other women achieve a sustainable approach to health and wellbeing instead of falling into the same traps I did.

This January we’re relaunching our signature group program, The Nourish Academy, which goes live 3 times each year.

It’s a 12-week small group coaching experience to help women create a healthier lifestyle, heal their relationship with food & lose weight sustainably without rules or restriction.

Our approach is holistic, looking at the whole person. This means addressing everything from sleep, stress, relationship, work life balance, self esteem, self confidence AS WELL AS nutrition and exercise.

That’s the key to creating long term sustainable weight loss.

So if you’re looking to consistently lose weight, feel healthy, increase your energy and reclaim your self confidence this opportunity is for you.

The women I support are intelligent and successful but struggle with their weight and health.

They know what to do to lose weight but life keeps getting in the way.

Then they blame themselves because they feel they SHOULD be able to be consistent... and they wish they had more willpower or self discipline.

Maybe you also…

👉 Start a new diet feeling great, then motivation fades and willpower runs out.

👉 Feel too exhausted from the pressures of work and life commitments to make time for yourself

👉 Feel nervous about handling social commitments like client meals, family meals out or drinks with friends while losing weight

You’re not alone in this. I hear this all the time.

And it makes perfect sense because we’ve been conditioned by the diet culture to rely on willpower in order to lose weight and keep it off.

So we use an all or nothing approach, cut out all the things we love and feel restricted.

I’m willing to bet you’ve been derailed during a social event in the past and completely thrown the towel in.

All because traditional diets don’t teach us how to manage social events without feeling restricted and missing out!

But what if I told you that you can succeed at prioritising your health and lose weight

✨ Without relying on willpower

✨ While still enjoying your favourite foods in moderation

✨ Without feeling hungry

✨ While still looking forward to and enjoying socialing

This is exactly what The Nourish Method is about.

The Nourish Method is a 12 week 1:1 program where I personally support you with understanding and cultivating motivation, managing stress, increasing your energy, socialising with ease, healing your relationship with food so you can weight consistently and easily without feeling restricted.

If you’re looking for support to lose weight sustainably whilst improving your overall health and wellbeing you’ll be pleased to know that I have 2 spots left for 1:1 coaching starting in this October & November

For more information, drop me a private message to express your interest and we can arrange a complimentary consultation to see if this might be a good fit for you.

A high protein breakfast is the key to sustainable weight loss.

When I’m busy I prepare my chia, h**p and flaxseed porridge ready to grab, heat and eat for fast paced mornings.

It’s packed with protein and fiber keeping you full till lunch.

The chia, h**p and flax seeds are packed with healthy fats supporting heart health, immune system and skin as well as a healthy gut microbiome.

Starting your day with a simple yet nutritious breakfast will starve off cravings and support your weight loss goals.

Private message me if you’d like me to send over the recipe.
